Hi GMAT Pros,
I started with a very bad score, I proceeded to use some programs and use the offical GMAT prep book, however, I didn't see much improvement. I recently started seeing improvement by taking more official practice tests, and reviewing the practice tests. My question is, would this be enough to score in the mid 600s? Has anyone had any expirience with this method of studying. I figured since its coming from the offical website, its got to be very accurate to what the actual test will be. Yet, I worry, that it won't be enough.
Thanks,

Hi there!
First off, congratulations on your progress so far! It's great to hear that you've started seeing improvement by taking more official practice tests and reviewing them. This is a crucial step in preparing for the GMAT, as understanding your performance on these tests can provide valuable insights into your strengths and weaknesses.
To address your question about whether this method will be enough to score in the mid-600s, let's break it down:
1. Official Practice Tests: You're absolutely right that the official GMAT practice tests are the best representation of the actual exam. They are designed by the same people who create the GMAT, so they reflect the format, question types, and difficulty level you'll encounter on test day. Consistently taking these tests will help you become familiar with the test structure and timing, which is essential for success.
2. Reviewing Practice Tests: It's not just about taking the tests; reviewing them is equally important. Analyze your incorrect answers to understand where you went wrong. Are there specific question types or concepts that consistently trip you up? This targeted review can help you focus your study efforts more effectively.
3. Supplementing Your Study: While official practice tests are invaluable, consider supplementing your study with additional resources. Blogs like GMAT Ninja and TTP (Target Test Prep) offer great strategies, tips, and explanations that can deepen your understanding of the material. For instance, GMAT Ninja emphasizes the importance of mastering the fundamentals and provides video explanations that can clarify complex concepts.
4. Study Plan: Create a structured study plan that incorporates both practice tests and targeted review sessions. Allocate time for focused study on weaker areas, and make sure to include a mix of question types in your practice. TTP's blog often discusses the importance of a balanced study approach, which can help you build a solid foundation across all sections of the GMAT.
5. Mindset and Consistency: Scoring in the mid-600s is definitely achievable with dedication and consistent effort. Stay positive and keep track of your progress. Celebrate small victories along the way, as they can help maintain your motivation.
6. Community Support: Engaging with forums like GMAT Club can also provide you with support and insights from others who have been in your shoes. Sharing your experiences and learning from others can be incredibly beneficial.
In summary, your current approach of taking official practice tests and reviewing them is a solid foundation. By supplementing this with additional resources, creating a structured study plan, and maintaining a positive mindset, you can certainly aim for a score in the mid-600s. Keep pushing forward, and best of luck with your studies!
I wish success in your GMAT journey !

Hey there,
Let's be mindful that there are only 6 official mocks and if you are improving, it's a good thing. However, please remember that you might want to reserve a few mocks for when you are near your actual test.
If taking mocks is proving better for your, you might want to try other mocks available in the market, starting with GC mocks, or experts global mocks. These are good for practice and for GMAT-like feel.
